Day 29

Good morning Mommy and Daddy! I weigh 690 grams (1 lb 8.3 oz) today, unchanged from yesterday's weight. I gained an average of 7.1 grams (0.3 oz) per day over the past 7 days. I'm moving in the right direction weight-wise, and maybe I'll surpise you tomorrow.

I received feedings by pump yesterday at a rate of 1-1.5 ml/hr and I received a total amount of 34 ml for the day. A fluid oz is about 30 ml so this is about 1.1 oz. I took all my milk by tube. My last feeding was at 7 AM. I can't figure out when my next feeding will be, so check with my nurse. Thanks for the breastmilk, Mommy. You're the only one who can help me in such a special way. I can feel myself growing!! Since yesterday morning, I pooped 4 times and the last time was around midnight.

As of 4 AM, I was on a mechanical ventilator with 36% oxygen.

Arrivederci Mommy and Daddy. Bring your favorite book to read to me. I will love hearing that story.

A million kisses,
John Michael
